No need for jquery here, plain js will do:
var nwstr = 'Agriculture & Development'
.replace(/\s+/g,'')
.replace(/\&/,'_');
//=> Agriculture_Development
Now go and figure things out yourself

3Or `'Agriculture & Development'.replace(/[\s&]+/g,'_')` to simply replace all groups of space and/or `&` with a single `_`. – Supr Jul 06 '12 at 07:16

var str = "Agriculture & Development";
// replace all the white space and the &
str.replace(/\s+/g, '').replace(/\&/,'_');
